Widgets

Dropdown lists

You can also hide/unhide dependent elements using the value of the selected item for checkbox, radio and dropdown

you enqueue(or require) the files automatically.

Readme Generation

WpPDE can generate readme files (in standard wordpress readme format or markdown format for github). Provide the
information in About the Plugin box and let WpPDE generate the files for you.
